Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday proposed that the name of the ministry of human resource development (HRD) should be changed to the ministry of education.

Sisodia also asked the central government to increase the budget for education.

Sisodia’s proposals came during the meeting of the Central Advisory Board of Education, which was attended by Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar and education ministers of many states.

“It is unfortunate that there is no Union education ministry in our nation. We currently have an HRD ministry. The name of HRD ministry should be changed to education ministry as the HRD is just a part of it,” Sisodia said.
